Dear Pocahontas,

What came first? The chicken or the egg? - Ryan

This question confuses a lot of people, but I have a very simple answer: single-celled organisms. Yes, I'm speaking of evolution, my friends. And what was between single-celled organsims and the chickens we know today had to have looked pretty damn weird and I can't really explain it, but yeah: single-celled organisms. They developed into proto-chickens, if you will, which began to lay eggs. This is just what I imagine happened. I'm not a scientist, but it's close enough.

Why are so many girls complete frelling idiots? - Travis

I've often asked myself this question. And I've come up with a lot of answers:

1. Enhanced verbal skills makes them more likely to gossip. Gossiping equals instant idiocy.

2. Many of them just wanna get laid, much like men. This also equals instant idiocy.

3. They have preconcieved notions of how they should act and usually those notions are misguided.

4. They travel in packs and each want to be the alpha wolf. This leads to backstabbing, which is helped along by the enhanced verbal skills.

5. A lot of them want to play games. Many of us have evolved beyond this, but still, game players are still out there in droves. Just stay clear of that sort.

6. Too much hairspray. Not only does it deplete the ozone layer, but I believe it also depletes brain cells...like alcohol or rap. Most of their beauty products just aren't good for them...like bleach or acrylic nails.

7. Many -- though not all -- are manipulative by nature. This goes alogn with the game playing. Steer clear!

8. Some like to see boys cry. It's like a fetish. You are their prey; get used to it.

9. A lot of them are full of themselves.

10. They know how males think and use it against them -- it's their biggest weapon.

There's more answers, but that covers the gist. I'm probably being kicked out of the womanly sisterhood as I type this now, but I reckoned you all needed to know, if you didn't already. See? We're not all bad.

Will Sheppard end up with Dr.Weir? lol. - The Brando Lover

I've always thought so. I mean, Ronon seemed to think that Sheppard might get with Teyla in a reason episode, but I think that's just because Ronon likes Teyla and wanted to see whether Sheppard did or not.

So yeah, whenever the show began...a lot of people were probably all like "Sheppard/Teyla! OMG!!"...but I never really saw it. It's always been Sheppard/Weir for me. It's obvious they've got the hots for each other.

Deathly Hallows and Other Scary Things (Meaning Love)

Will Harry Potter die? - the Brando Lover

This is a really tough question. I consider myself to be quite the Potterphile and I'm torn.

I don't want him to die, as I love Harry. He's had a tough life, and it seems like it'll all be for naught if he actually kicks the bucket. But all the same, there are things that seem to suggest that he might die. For instance, Hermione is the heroine of the story. Normally, the heroine ends up with the hero, but JK Rowling has basically stated that Harry will not end up with her. It seems that Hermione is going to end up with Ron, the sidekick. And this just strikes me as odd. It doesn't follow the standard format.

So, I think it's up in the air. I really don't want him to die. But it could really happen.

Who should I love? - Emily

This is also a really tough question. And in this instance, it's even more important that I put my personal opinion aside, and try to be objective.

The best thing I can say is go with the one who covers some of the basic needs that one needs in a relationship: Do they love you back? Are they sane? Do they treat you nicely? They're not a puppy kicker, are they?...That sort of thing. And then, once you weed it down to a select few, you have to think about this in even MORE detail...who makes you feel the best? Who do you have the most fun with?

And also, you have to consider who you love more and in which way you love them. Sometimes, people mistake platonic love for something more. So, if you love one or more of these guys only platonically, count them out. You're not gonna magically love them deeper.

Then you gotta think...do you have a connection with them? Anyone who's really been in love knows this connection of which I speak. It's something deeper than logic or emotion; it's knowledge on a basic level. You just -- like -- know, you know?

These are all things to consider. I can't tell you who, specifically. I might like to tell you who NOT to love, but that is because I'm bossy. However, I'm mature enough to know it's not my place.

Hope that was of some help.

Your awesome friend,
Pocahontas

Cheating

Which is worse, to cheat with a kiss, or to cheat with, how would you say, bedding, but no kissing? - Ryan

This is difficult. It's kinda like in Pretty Woman, where she says she doesn't kiss on the mouth, because it's too personal or whatever.

In my opinion, bedding without kissing is worse. Bedding implies that there's deeper desire and/or sincere feelings than just kissing. You can kiss someone you hate, but chances are, you're not going to want to sleep with them. And if your significant other has feelings for the person they are cheating with, then that just brings the cheating to a whole new horrible level.

Also, kissing can't get you pregnant, no matter what your mother and grandmothers try to tell you. =D

Pie

Do you like pie? - Boy I Saw at that Place Last Night

Yes, I like pie. I like all sorts of pies. I like pumpkin pie, strawberry rhubarb pie, and coconut cream pie. And I like the savory pies as well...like crawfish, chicken pot pie, etc.

But I dislike banana cream pie. I really do. It's icky. That's mainly owing to the fact that bananas are icky.

If Pocahontas Ruled the World...

My first question comes from my dear friend, Travis.

If you could rule the world, what would you do and what would it be like? - Travis

If I could rule the world, there would be no "real guns". Why? Because it's simple: yeah, it can be fun to aim a gun and shoot stuff -- but why not just get a BB gun? So, if you need a real gun, it just means that you wanna kill stuff. And you shouldn't want to kill stuff. And if you wanna be tough...be tough with fists, the way nature intended, dammit.

Another thing I would do is make sure every school taught music. A lot of schools don't, and it's a shame, because music is awesome. I like music. I can listen to it all day.

And you know how in Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, they're like "be excellent to each other". Well, I'd enforce that. Because people usually aren't excellent to each other and that just has to stop. It hurts my head.

I would also make record players more common. I miss record players. They were/are awesome. Music just sounds better that way...I don't know why.

In my world, parents would also be parents. The Baby Boomers could learn a thing or two in my world.

And I would enforce social/dating/mating etiquette. I really would. And if any man talks to a woman disrespectfully, he gets to take classes on how to treat women with respect.

I could go on and on, but that's the stuff that came to my mind just then. =D

-Pocahontas

Welcome

The idea for this was inspired by my friend Ryan and the idea is very simple: ask Pocahontas, which would be me. Why am I calling myself Pocahontas these days? I dunno -- it's what Ryan calls me.

The point: ask me questions, advice, etc., and I'll post your questions (anonymously, if you like) with my answers. I don't pretend to be an expert or a professional advice giver, so consider this a dislclaimer...meaning I don't want to be sued or something ridiculous. This blog is purely for amusement, and maybe I can help some people out along the way.

Your faithful servent,
Pocahontas

P.S. You're probably wanting to know how to actually question me, right? Message me at askpocahontas@gmail.com or if you're my myspace friend, you can message me on myspace.

P.P.S. I take confidentiality seriously, so I'm not going to tell people you're the one who asked the question if you don't want me to. But if you're still worried about confidentiality, just don't ask me things you don't mind being posted over the internet, capice?
